Note: all of this is irrelevant if you have velvet
Notice it says clearly that it is a therapy, not a cure. You might get relief, but no cure....just an FYINotable quotes from the Ich Attack website:
Ich Attack®
It's certainly a known treatment:
- 100% Organic Herbals based on Naphthoquinones
- The therapeutic action of Ich-Attack on protozoan and other infections is due to its binding with cytoplasmic structures within the cell of the infecting organisms.
- Kordon Ich-Attack as an organic herbal treatment is focused in its effectiveness in treating protozoan, fungal, and dinoflagellate infections. It may be an inhibitor, but is not an eliminator of infectious viruses, bacteria and multi-celled organisms.
- However, the success of this treatment (as with all effective treatments) is dependent upon starting treatment as soon as infections are anticipated or noted. It often can be late in the extent of infection when it is noted in fishes, which may be too late to save them. As an example, for some species of white spot disease (Ich), the infection usually starts unnoticed in the mouth, gills, and nostrils of the fish, only later appearing on the outside surface of the fish when it may be too late to save their lives by treatment.
- Always quarantine tangs before putting them with other fishes.

But it might also be worth reading more on....all I have is that abstract so we know "it's known". We're assuming Kordon has done their homework.
The way to know that is with a microscope. Not easy.
I'm not sure there's a reason this stuff wouldn't work against velvet...seems to be in the same grouping of target organisms.
As Kordon says on their site though, severity and progression of the disease at the time of treatment is everything.
suing any of these companies

It's simple no quarantine needed if he is still eating, my purple tang use to get ick alot when I first got him , buy 2 products by seachem called metroplex and focus ,soak his food in it and he should be good in 2 to 3 daysTo many to count
Stays in one spot hiding in rock but I think that's more because of the other fish.
Just spot feed him food soaked in garlic and he was eating
This is not a cure to ich or velvet. Qt is needed if you want to rid of ich or velvet...the metro and focus just kind of contains it's bounds. If you were to add a fish amd just do this, your other fish will get infected, unless you are going to keep buying all of this just to keep ur at bay...It's simple no quarantine needed if he is still eating, my purple tang use to get ick alot when I first got him , buy 2 products by seachem called metroplex and focus ,soak his food in it and he should be good in 2 to 3 days
There is no cure for ick, it is better to contain it that to try and "cure" it, even if you quarantine and introduce the fish back into the system it is still likley to get it again , even if you copper treated the aquarium all you are doing is nuking the tank and killing both good and bad bacteria which means he would have to cycle the tank over and even if he still went ahead and did this it is still possible to reintroduce ick into the aquarium weather it be from a clean up crew or even live rock. And if you have a mixed reef it's even worse your more likley to kill off your corals than to rid yourself of the ickThis is not a cure to ich or velvet.

This is why we quarantine everything...coral, inverts, fish....you can keep ich out of a system if you do so..There is no cure for ick, it is better to contain it that to try and "cure" it, even if you quarantine and introduce the fish back into the system it is still likley to get it again , even if you copper treated the aquarium all you are doing is nuking the tank and killing both good and bad bacteria which means he would have to cycle the tank over and even if he still went ahead and did this it is still possible to reintroduce ick into the aquarium weather it be from a clean up crew or even live rock.
